Actually, the shopping cart is from Food Maxx. The closest Best Buy is 40 miles away.

So thats what those are, I see a few of those here in Reno, I don't think they issue them here but there are people from cali w/ em and I was always wondering what they were.

putting the spoiler on a car backwards wont neccesarily give you downforce on the front of the car,but rather give you lift on the back.
just my opinion but the less force you have holding the tires to the ground the less control of the car you have.

btw is the car fw or rw drive?

dont know much about HoNdAs.

The CRX is front wheel drive.

Lift in the back would xfer weight to the front wheels........... that ricer car couldn't get going fast enough to generate rear lift with that little wing anyway. He'd need a ricier one.

Wait, are you trying to be serious? If anyone could get that POS going fast enough to generate lift it would make the rear end lighter, but would not change the weight in the front. It would change the weight distribution overall, that's it.

As we sit here and ponder how stupid this guy is, maybe he knows something that we don't. I'll bet when he gets this rocket up to speed, that backward mounted wing actually does something amazing.

Kind of off topic, but my friend drives a bone stock camaro ss. We were at our little car club meet, and this guy pulls up in an orange civic, Looked pretty nice, had a screamin paint job, obviously alot of money put into it. So he pops the hood, b16, turbo W/ electronic boost controller, nx 100shot. The kid PROMISED us, that it ran in the 12's, and I mean I beleived it almost 100%- but my friend didn't(hardcore domestic guy) So he calls bs, and they line up at the stop light. Priceless. We're talking car lengths on the civic, I was behind my buddy in the SS in my stang and almost caught up to the civic lol. I've only seen 1 or 2 that actaully performed, and didn't just have a bunch of fancy stuff thrown on. I've NEVER seen one do anything serious at the strip, I saw one run a 12.8 and almost crapped my pants.

this is also slightly off topic, but I'll tell it anyways. Two of my friends and I went to RPM (this race kart place), and on the way back, we pulled up to this wannabe rice 4 door older civic/integra. I'm in my pool truck/work truck, which just happens to be a ford ranger 4 banger that runs like it's on 2 cylinders. I rev the shitty exhaust at the rice, and he starts revving his pos up. At the light, he lays on the gas, and I pop the clutch. For a shitty truck, I kept up with him through first gear, and then when I hit second, he took me. He stopped a little farther down the street to race again from a rolling start, and even in fourth gear, I kept up with him from 45 to about 65. The 4th gear powerband really doesn't kick in until 50/55, and I was bogging the truck out, but it was still keeping up with the integra. It was great!
